Description
This text introduces biological ecology as a metaphor for strategic thinking about business co-evolution and radically new cooperative/competitive relationships. It provides a topographical map to competitive systems, enabling readers to position their own companies within the interlocking business networks, to identify the development stage of their system, and to pursue the strategy most likely to prevail and ultimately dominate the whole.
